I normally move .purple out of /root to /mnt/home and use a symlink to keep it out of the save file anmd share it between various puppies.

LHP has it in /root/spot and moving it to /mnt/home and using a symlink will not allow log files to be written.

Is there a work around?

Thanks

You might have to move just the /spot/ directory alone and symlink it.
I know with 601 and older versions I've been able to symlink folders in /root/.config/ out to other places without problems.
I know with 601 and older, TazOC has also had an option in place to allow a user to have installed programs placed outside the save file in /mnt/home. There might be something there that would explain why that works. I've never personally tested that though, so I cant speak for how it works._________________

One of the primary reason this "freaking" thing comes up< as it was referenced by an earlier member, is that there is no standard acceptable method prescribed when distros are released on what should be done to help both articulate, understand, report, and get feedback on video issues. Some documentation that accompany's the distro probably is needed for this kind of problem.

TaZoC has done a really creditable job in documenting much of what we can encounter. But this specific problem is not one of those

This kind of problem along with the frustrations of some are a little disheartening when frustrations run high causing un-intended responses.

My system's Hardinfo reports shows the GTS250 adapter identified by the system hardware as shown below

The message still surfaces for a supported adapter

So, am I to believe my system's hardware report, the nVidia site's report, or the message generated by the system?

Please refrain from flying off the handle again. Replies and behavior as such is not good for any of this community. Although, I'm sure you're trying to help by your emphasis. But, in this case, the system information gives a picture different than what you describe.

If there are other tools that development would like me/others to use to give a better view of what's going on, ask and it will be given/shared.

The NOUVEAU driver is working OK. I thought that possibly the nVidea driver would add video responsiveness or reduce CPU loadings. So there must be a mismatch in system reporting or as the message indicates something is missing somewhere. This is why I posted my findings for review.

If i am mis-interpreting the information I am looking at, please guide me appropriately so that I and others have a reference for future use. And, if there is other system information that would bear more light to help, please advise.

Any ideas on this problem would be appreciated or any information that we can provide to help, expect that it will be given.

I moved my Lighthouse64 602 install to another pc (SDHC card plugged
into a usb card reader) and booted it up.
I had to recompile the proprietary Nvidia driver and set to wireless
up again but that only took a few minutes.

Found one very small flea affecting lid suspend on the Fujitsu s6520 laptop I reported on earlier.
Suspend occurred correctly on lid closure, wireless shut down ok. On reopening, x restarted, network enabled, frisbee acquired a lease... and then it immediately suspended again.

Cause is, in /etc/acpi/events,lid calls /etc/acpi/action/suspend.sh for any lid event, open or close. Could put a test in it so only a closure calls suspend.sh but the appropiate test already exists in lines 4 through 7 of /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh. I uncommented those lines as below and changed the comment line slightly to better reflect what it does

I also Installed lxappearance from the repository mostly to switch icon themes. Works fine. I just start it in a terminal for now. Both tint2 and conky are set up and working just fine, but by resetting the bottom margin to 0 pixels in the openbox config, the Lxpanel now has full transparency and I'm happy enuf with it._________________Pups currently in kennel X-slacko 4.2 and X-tahr 2.0 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupXenial and X-slacko 4.2 for me. All good pups indeed.

The laptop's use of the Wifi works without issue in Vista, but, in Linux, it does NOT, even with the newer kernel. All symptoms are exactly as they were before.

Questions

Is there a LH64/FATDOG document that might lead to either resolution or recommendation?

Is there anything development would like me to present which could provide insights to resolution?

Thanks for any guidance in an effort to resolve_________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Gcmartin,
Please confirm
m the exact card you have. Your first post stated you had the GTX 250. Now you are reporting that you have the GLS 250. Those are difference cards. One I spported by Nvidias driver and one is not. Accurate information is needed for support.
If you have the gls250, then there is a support issue we need to look into; however if you have the gtx 250, as you first reported, there is little we can so.

The images from the system shows what the system has on its video peripheral. That information is the same when "video...glx" is run in a terminal/console.

Maybe, there is a better way to approach this, from a developer's perspective (if there are other ways, maybe it can also be posted).

For nVidia
Maybe an approach can be documented which takes any user from the normal Nouveau driver to, say, the "nv" driver, then assuming that worked, a user can be advise to attempt installation of the PET that brings in the latest from driver for adapter functions. If you agree, then, so that the community has your approach documented, it could serve as a guide for all of us in the community. And, when users report, they could be steered to the supporting documentation for guidance.

This would have the added benefit of reducing the frustration level, too.

What say you?_________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!
